Implementing OSPF
Default Route for OSPF
Type 5 (ASE) LSAs are generated and flooded to all areas except stub areas. For the routers in a stub area to
be able to route packets to destinations outside the stub area, a default route is injected by the ABR attached
to the stub area.
The cost of the default route is 1 (default) or is determined by the value specified in the default-cost command.
Link-State Advertisement Types for OSPF Version 2
Each of the following LSA types has a different purpose:
• Router LSA (Type 1)—Describes the links that the router has within a single area, and the cost of each
• Network LSA (Type 2)—Describes the link state and cost information for all routers attached to a
• Summary LSA for ABRs (Type 3)—Advertises internal networks to routers in other areas (interarea
• Summary LSA for ASBRs (Type 4)—Advertises an ASBR and the cost to reach it. Routers that are
• Autonomous system external LSA (Type 5)—Redistributes routes from another autonomous system,
• Autonomous system external LSA (Type 7)—Provides for carrying external route information within
• Intra-area-prefix LSAs (Type 9)—A router can originate multiple intra-area-prefix LSAs for every router
• Area local scope (Type 10)—Opaque LSAs are not flooded past the borders of their associated area.
• Link-state (Type 11)—The LSA is flooded throughout the AS. The flooding scope of Type 11 LSAs

based on quality of service (QoS), whether it is an ABR or ASBR, and if it is one end of a virtual link.
Type 1 LSAs are also used to advertise stub networks.

are equivalent to the flooding scope of AS-external (Type 5) LSAs. Similar to Type 5 LSAs, the LSA
is rejected if a Type 11 opaque LSA is received in a stub area from a neighboring router within the stub
area. Type 11 opaque LSAs have these attributes:
◦ LSAs are flooded throughout all transit areas.
◦ LSAs are not flooded into stub areas from the backbone.
◦ LSAs are not originated by routers into their connected stub areas.
